McLean, VA - July 16, 2009 - The Hague and McLean, VA - ZyLAB, an innovative global developer of Information Access and Compliance Solutions, today announced that on September 10th it will host an invitation-only event focused on e-discovery and related topics for managing and controlling electronically stored information for legal professionals, law firms, corporate counsel, compliance officers, regulators and investigative forces. This event will take place at the internationally renowned Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands which is often called the “seat of international law” because it houses the International Court of Justice (the principal judicial body of the United Nations).

During this event, the following topics/issues will be addressed:
- In the US E-Discovery is exploding. How about Europe?
- What kind of technologies do investigative forces and regulators use worldwide?
- How to prepare information stores for legal action and develop a records plan that enhances the chances of winning while remaining ready for future potential lawsuits
- Insight in the way UN War tribunals define, manage and control large scale investigations
- Nowadays sharing and capturing of information has become extremely easy resulting in vast amounts of information (e.g. email). How is all of this content managed and accessed?
- Can a computer decide court cases? How can Artificial Intelligence and advanced search technology, text analytics and visualization help organizations save money, lower risk and make deadlines?
“Managing and controlling electronically stored information is no longer simply a matter of technology,” said Johannes Scholtes, President of ZyLAB. “It has become one of the most serious sources of legal exposure and risk. This event will help attendees understand how to prepare to respond to an e-discovery demand imposed on an organization by regulators, civil parties and even competitors. We have assembled leading legal and investigative professionals from the UN War Crimes Tribunals, NATO, Leiden University, de Brauw Blackstone Westbroek and ZyLAB to help attendees prepare for these potential investigations.”
Topics and speakers include:
- “Strategic approaches to defining and managing search, E-Discovery, and records and knowledge management in high-volume legal proceedings Gonzalo de Cesare, Information Management Officer, NATO, and former Records Manager for several UN war crimes tribunals.
- “Why are legal, compliance and IT needed during large scale investigations?” Marnix Somsen, Partner De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek.
- “Can a Computer act as a Judge?” Prof. Dr. Jaap van den Herik, a top scientist in Artificial Intelligence and the chair on AI and law at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
